I think, should they autopsy my brain after I die, they will find those words inscribed in there. While I know all ten amendments, it's the only one I can quote verbatim without thinking about it.

Great video! It's interesting that several of the other Amendments use the phrase "the people" but the anti-gun folks don't argue the applicability of them to the common man. The meaning changes when it's one they don't like...

I have that as my screen saver on my home computer.....

You can order a pocket sized copy of the Declaration of Independence/Constitution at: heritage.org/bookstore.

With one of these, you can look up anything at anytime.

(You can even order a bunch of them to pass out to friends/family/strangers if you want.

Several items of interest located at Charters of Freedom - The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights.

In a slight tangent, I like the additional word "themselves" in the Indiana State Constitution...

Section 32. The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.

Last I checked there were more than 10

Yeah yeah wiseguy. I read through the entire list not just the Bill of Rights once every couple years.

 

[dross]

Really though, the Ninth is the best one of all. Ironic and yet predictable that the most expansive amendment is also the one the government likes to pretend doesn't exist.

I had not seen the Penn and Teller before. Love it.

One of two they like to pretend that about... They don't much like the most-restrictive-to-them 10A either.

At this point, the only one they seem to be neutral on is the 3A, re: quartering of soldiers without the property owner's consent. At this point. Give 'em a bit... I'm sure they'll go after that one, too.

Blessings,
Bill

Probably my favorite show, that is one of my favorite episodes. They tend to know what they're talking about.

They won't have to. The further violation and destruction of the often overlooked part of the 4th Amendment through electronic and technological means, not yet fully realized and implemented, will serve the purposes of surveillance and control adequately enough to make the physical quartering of soldiers unnecessary.
